Sweet Little Mysteries: The Island Anthology

Title

Sweet Little Mysteries: The Island Anthology

Release Date

6 June 1994

Notes

Sweet Little Mysteries: The Island Antholgoy is an excellent overview of John’s music with Island and spans the greater part of his career on the label. Noticeable by their absence are any songs from John’s first four albums – a little strange ! Surely there was room for Parcels, Cocain, Dusty etc – apparently not.

A well put together package, 24 page booklet and an excellent introduction to John’s music.
